Gene Expression Flashcards
Gente Regulation
The Regulation of genes allows, cells to better respond to stimuli & conserve energy/materials
Gene Expression Definition
• Process by which a gene produces its product, and the product carries out its function
Prokaryotic cells turn genes on and off by: __________
Prokaryotic cells turn genes on and off by - controlling transcription -
DNA is found in the _____ of ______
DNA is found in the - cytoplasm of the prokaryotes -
______ & _______ happen at the same time
Transcription & translation happen at the same time
__________ is mainly regulated at the start of transcription
gene expression is mainly regulated at the start of transcription
__________ is controlled by promoters & operators
Start if transcription controlled by promoters and operators
Promoter
a DNA segment that allows a gene to be transcribed & also helps RNA polymerase find where the gene starts
Operator
a DNA segment that turns a gene on & off
Prokaryotic genes are arranged into
Prokaryotic genes are arranged into - operons
Operons
the promoter, operator & structural genes for proteins needed to do a task
